Spain Secures Euro 2025 Semifinals with 2-0 Win over Switzerland

Spain's women's national soccer team secured a 2-0 victory over host nation Switzerland to advance to the UEFA Euro 2025 semi-finals, marking only their second appearance at this stage since 1997. The breakthrough came in the second half with goals from Athenea del Castillo and Claudia Pina, whose trademark long-range precision shot doubled the lead and sealed the win. Spain, reigning world champions and Nations League winners, are on track to become only the second nation to win back-to-back World Cup and Euro titles, a feat previously achieved only by Germany. Despite some missed penalty opportunities and late-game challenges, Spain's depth and quality shone through under coach Montse Tomé. Pina, who has become a specialist in accurate long-range goals for both FC Barcelona and Spain, continues to impress with her signature shot, although goalkeepers have begun anticipating her moves. Spain will face the winner of the France vs. Germany quarterfinal in the semifinals, continuing their strong run in international women's soccer.
